    Default Roaming Wifi finally going

    I finally got it up and running, both managed from my main router. Two hardwired PoE access points at either end of the house, one SSID, seemless roaming. No more having to manually disconnect from one and connect to the other, does it all on it's own. Next phase will be an access point mounted on my garage, then I should have 5GHz 802.11ac everywhere. I did run wireless bridges in the past, but they halve the bandwidth. Hardwired over gigabit ethernet is way better, and much, much faster. I did it all for half the cost of your typical top tier Linksys WRT or Netgear Nighthawk and have a much more stable and robust system. Good stuff

    so what do you think of the Pixel2 and Pixel2 XL? Its time to get a new work phone. Verizon network.
    Note8? Galaxy8? Motorola z2 Force? I like Motorola, have had them forever. But i hate the battery size of the Z2 Force. Maybe iPhoneX or 8? Ive never had an iPhone, not against trying one either.

    good job on the networking.

    I'd get either the Pixel2, Pixel2 XL, iPhone 8, or iPhone X. Those will be your best bets for cutting edge features and updates (3 years for all 4). Most other phones are lucky to get 2 years of updates, many even less than that.

    I really wish the Pixel 2 had wireless charging. Gotten used to it with my Galaxy S6 and don't think I could go back.

    I wonder why Google omitted it this time around. It uses the Snapdragon 835 chipset, which includes wireless charging by design.

    Would it be possible to add one of the "aftermarket" kit things to it?

    Probably not. It's already there, just not enabled. You'd most likely have to wait for another Android variant, such as Lineage OS to implement it sometime in the future.

    Does the Pixel offer the missed call notification numbers on the icons like IOS, Samsung launcher and Moto launcher does?

    I really like that about the Motos.

    Details on the setup? We'll be building in the next few years, and I'm trying to research whole home WiFi setup's for a 2 story+basement, 5000 sq/ft home.
